Do you think a communist government with the same power as the US would refrain from the above?



First of all you respond to my really-existing-things-that-happened/happen by asking about a hypothetical what-about for the other side. I’ll just note that.

Second of all, where is the symmetry? The common thread here is that some countries wanted to self-determine and use their resources for themselves. But then America/American corporations didn’t want that because they wanted those things for the corporations. National-level socialist ambitions thwarted by corporations. Is then the supposedly (hypothetical) evil of a Soviet Union thwarting upstart capitalist corporation in its backyard? Hmm, if that makes sense to you, whatever.

EDIT: I realize now that this is another commenter. But the same applies.
